Electrical outlets are the lifeblood of your entire electrical system. They allow you to run the various appliances and devices you rely on to remain safe and comfortable daily. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon to experience an issue with your electrical outlets from time to time.
In fact, there are various reasons you may need to consider calling for outlet repair service.
Not working
Hot outlet
Yellowing outlet
Physical damage
The most obvious reason that you may need to call for outlet repair is that your outlet simply isn’t working. You should double-check that the circuit breaker has not been tripped and attempt to plug in multiple devices to verify that the outlet is the source of the problem. If you’re working with a GFCI outlet, make sure to push the reset button. If none of these solutions solves the problem, you’ll need to get professional assistance to have the outlet undergo replacement service. Most outlets will last for around 15 to 25 years.
If your outlet feels hot to the touch, it’s a cause for concern. This excess heat could be the result of wiring that is arcing behind the outlet. This can be dangerous as it can lead to an electrical fire. You should unplug all items from the outlet and refrain from using it until an electrician evaluates the issue. Sometimes, you may experience a yellowing of the outlet over time.
Another reason you may need to call a professional for outlet repair service is because your outlet has undergone physical damage. You may have simply hit something off the outlet that led to the cracking of the plastic. Or, the outlet may become loose from the wall and dangle in the air. Either way, one of our professional electricians can help.
